Join us to celebrate the Winter Solstice and World Localisation Day.

The winter solstice has historically marked the symbolic death and rebirth of the Sun. The gradual waning of daylight hours is reversed and begins to grow again. This is a poignant time to celebrate the light in the dark, and all we have learnt through the winter cycle.

The afternoon will include:

* Showcasing of local seasonal produce and cultural foods

* Fire ceremony and storytelling

* Panel Discussion around the fire with Growing Roots Permaculture, Local Futures

* Live music and dance

* Kids lantern making and walk

What to bring:

* Picnic rug

* Reusable cup, bowl and utensils (food will be available for purchase)

About World Localisation Day

World Localization Day, celebrates the worldwide localization movement for the month of June. In 2023, for the fourth year in a row, people all over the world will come together to explore the power of localization, and to honor the many initiatives, old and new, that foster ecological economies, thriving communities and healthy local food systems.

World Localisation Day is spearheaded by Local Futures - a pioneer organisation raising awareness about the power of ‘going local’ as a key strategy for restoring ecological, social and spiritual wellbeing.
